Curiosity has landed

The Flickrverse was watching in anticipation, when Curiosity—the NASAs most advanced Mars rover to date—started its descent and touched down on Aeolis Paulus this morning.

While the fate of the jar of “lucky peanuts” at the Flight Director’s station at NASA’s JPL has not been confirmed, Curiosity already began its extensive task exploring the climate and geology of Mars and determining if the red planet ever could have supported life, ultimately planning for a human mission to the fourth planet in our Solar System.

Featured Photographer

Earlier this year, a group of ten young creatives, who met through Flickr about a decade ago, decided to come together to recreate some of their older works in a series of self-portraits they took at the very beginning of their careers. The idea was to look back, explore the memories made on Flickr, and celebrate their accomplishments as artists.
